This volume pulls together interdisciplinary research on cognitive
representations in the mind and in the world. The chapters-from
cutting-edge researchers in psychology, philosophy, computer
science, and the arts-explore how structured representations
determine cognition in memory, spatial cognition information
visualization, event comprehension, and gesture. It will appeal to
graduate-level cognitive scientists, technologists, philosophers,
linguists, and educators.

Much of our behavior is guided by our understanding of events. We
perceive events when we observe the world unfolding around us,
participate in events when we act on the world, simulate events
that we hear or read about, and use our knowledge of events to
solve problems. In this book, Gabriel A. Radvansky and Jeffrey M.
Zacks provide the first integrated framework for event cognition
and attempt to synthesize the available psychological and
neuroscience data surrounding it. This synthesis leads to new
proposals about several traditional areas in psychology and
neuroscience including perception, attention, language
understanding, memory, and problem solving. Radvansky and Zacks
have written this book with a diverse readership in mind. It is
intended for a range of researchers working within cognitive
science including psychology, neuroscience, computer science,
philosophy, anthropology, and education. Readers curious about
events more generally such as those working in literature, film
theory, and history will also find it of interest.
